A Golf Cart as a Second Vehicle

July 31st, 2009 admin No comments

Many states, including Florida, allow golf carts to be driven on public roads. Check your state and local laws regarding golf carts. Because of the lack of environmental impact, the EPA had helped encourage legislation over the years in many areas, which now allow golf carts to be driven on the streets. In Florida, specially equipped golf carts and other electric vehicles referred to as “low speed vehicles (LSVs)” can be driven on public roads that post a speed limit not over 35 mph.

If you work close enough to home, consider driving an LSV.  If you go to school in the same town or city as you live, consider an LSV. Whether shopping, going out to dinner, attending a ball game, consider an LSV for your local transportation.

Although we’re not advocating it, it’s been our personal experience that finding parking anywhere is a breeze.  LSVs and golf carts can be parked in non-traditional parking spaces that a motorized vehicle would get towed for! Just be careful not to block exists, handicap spaces, or fire hydrants.

Whether you rent or purchase a golf cart or LSV, driving one can be a great cost savings, help the environment, and be a lot of fun too. You can rent or buy carts for multiple passengers, with a cargo bed, and even with an electric dump on the back. Golf carts can include enclosures, fans, heaters, lift kits and oversized tires,  if desired. There’s really no end to their versatility and custom accessories…just ask. So, what are you waiting for? Rent or buy your golf cart or LSV today!

Why Electric Transportation like golf carts?

July 31st, 2009 admin No comments

There are a lot of reasons.

Virtually no air pollution. We all want - and need - to breathe clean air. That’s why you’ll find electric school buses, street cleaners, garbage trucks, aircraft baggage tugs, and much more. Electric power also is perfect for vehicles that operate in enclosed spaces, like warehouses, malls, or airport terminals.

It’s affordable. You can’t beat the extremely low refueling costs - about one-fifth the gasoline costs to operate an internal-combustion engine vehicle. And with no tune-ups, oil changes or smog checks, maintenance costs are almost non-existent. For even more affordability, consider renting a golf cart. We rent golf carts by the day, week, month, or even year.

It’s quiet. Noise pollution is a growing concern, whether you live in the city or a suburb. Remember the last time you were rudely awakened by the howl of a noisy motorcycle engine?

Electric motor technology isn’t damaged by stop-and-start driving. Because of this, many businesses utilize electric workhorse like golf carts. In fact, any vehicle that makes frequent stops and starts (the cause of most wear-and-tear on gas-fueled cars) can benefit from electric power.
